By the 1930s, the name had been adopted by the team and the famous crest was created.” Further, Nesteroff discovered that the famous cartoon in fact appeared in the March 8, 1931 issue of The Province newspaper, not during the 1928 Savage Cup playoffs. Looking back, 1961 wasn’t the fi rst year Trail had captured the World Hockey title and in fact, those earlier Smokies – including the 1939 World champions – had quite an impact on international hockey. “Trail native played for the Trail Smoke Eaters from 1932 to 1934.
